In episode two we were joined by class of 2019 alumni, George Parker. A native of the Netherlands, George became an entrepreneur straight after IESE when he co-founded GOMEEP, a Barcelona based company helping companies and individuals by providing built for purpose reliable e-mobility assets for last mile delivery and transportation.

We explored his post MBA experiences as a founder here in Barcelona and everything that entails; the highs, the lows, and how the MBA helped him on his way. 

For anyone looking to start their own business directly after the MBA, this is definitely one for you!
